Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Site Wide Plots

Kaos :: The Beginning of the End☼ - 6/2017 - Kaos placed Helovia in a time-bubble for a short period of time, but the Helovian gods are fighting back. But Kaos is powerful- far more powerful than anyone thought. This may be the beginning of the end of Helovia as we know it.

Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.

☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.

Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.

Doppleganger Plot☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.

ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

MAGIC & ITEMS( h o v e r )

she who breathes life into stars

Star Breather, light x wind
» True to her namesake, Cassiopeia is the wielder of a unique astral magic. She is able to animate constellations and bring them to Earth for a limited amount of time. Said creations can accompany her in battle and can inflict damage just as the mortal animal they depict, as well as leave a numb/burning sensation wherever they come in contact with one of Cassiopeia's foes. If she focuses hard enough she is able to negate the burning sensation they produce so that when they touch another a warm feeling is all that can be felt. She wishes to one day quest to gain healing capabilities for these constellations, unsatisfied by their currently harmful nature.

Glowing Stardust, light x wind (Passive)
» Cassiopeia's mane produces faintly glowing star dust which, when her mane is shaken, forms a trail to that which is desired most. This causes her mane to sparkle constantly at night.

Night Dweller, harness moonlight
» From her astral magic, Cassiopeia has evolved a natural affinity to moonlight. She is capable of harnessing energy from the moon, and uses said energy to summon constellations. Therefore, she feels more rejuvenated during nights when the moon is at its fullest.

Stealing Amulet, goddess of the moon
» Cassiopeia is in possession of a teal Goddess of the Moon amulet that is capable of replicating a magical ability and store it to be used at a later time when magic is cast in the vicinity. It is strung around her neck by a metal chain. It tends to alter its pigment to correspond with her eye color. The amulet washed up the shore of the Endless Blue in the Birdsong of year one and remains to be used.

Cassiopeia is a mare of genuine heart and compassionate countenance; however, she is not to be judged on mere first impressions. Within her breast there lies a fiery maiden willing to stand against those intending to cause harm to her family or home. Loyal to her beliefs and those she holds dear, Cassiopeia is a resilient mare of quiet determination and inspiring wisdom. The soothing melody of her voice only sounds when she feels it necessary to share her thoughts; however, her gentle laughter is a common comfort to any pleasant situation. [from Azzuen's point of view, thank you Whit!]

Her emotions are fluid. Her happiness is like the sun, a rich, emphatic elation; her sadness a deep abyss, a widening gyre; she loves without restraint, driven by passion and devotion; her anger is implosive, and her frustration festering. Despite her passionate nature, she comes across to many as reserved, and is fond of solitude. She finds nature to be captivating and beautiful. One of her greatest fascinations is the sky and space. She is very knowledgeable about the constellations and the myths surrounding them. She is very poetic, often reciting verses she learned from her mother when she was young. She has always been a peaceful, quiet soul, perhaps even a bit withdrawn, and although she has come to accept this, she sometimes wishes she were more charismatic.

The first thing the star-breather ever felt was the gentle lapping of ocean waves against her dank, peppered hide. She was born at Coquina Tides, a beach in the vast, mysterious nation known as Valryn, the land of Twilight, situated so far south on the globe of Loorien that the light of day never brightened past dusk and dawn: an endless cycle of such. Perhaps its position on the globe was not the only cause of this. Some sort of magic must've kept the sun from fully rising, but who's to say for certain?

Cassiopeia's birth had been fairly free of stress for the mare who delivered the filly: a comely dame by the name of Khalira, admired for her glamorously enrapturing beauty. Some might say she was something of a seductress, alluring and persuasive. Still, the foal she produced was one conceived of genuine love, her first daughter, sired by a man well trained in the art of combat; a weathered and well-respected warrior of the King's army. Both belonged to the Kingdom of Altraira, a domain inhabited strictly by only those of winged blood. Her parents' love hadn't been forbidden nor kept secret. In fact, copulation between herd members was both expected and encouraged. She was not an accident nor did she possess any apparent extraordinary traits. She was a normal filly and the first few months of her life were neither unusual nor particularly eventful. She was average.

Her lineage is forged forged from a long line of healers. Before Khalira became the physician of Altraira came her mother before her, and so the tradition was to continue. Cassiopeia was to become the next healer. She was content with this. In fact, she was rather proud to help others in such a way. She had never expected or yearned to be anything other than average.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
She laid by his side as he gave his final breath, and even as death, the eternal slumber, overcame him, coveting the life by which he was once so intoxicated by, she could not bring herself to leave him. She likely would have stayed there for hours had she not been escorted home by Cerevisi. Altair was cremated, as are all casualties of war in Valryn. And that was it. Her father was gone forever from her life.
